To all those complaining...

While I will agree some what with the OP about MMO launches, I have to agree with everyone else more.

I really enjoy this game, but when it comes down to it, SE's lack of proper communication is nerve racking. I am happy to wait for them to fix issues that arise, but we go hours without knowing if SE is going to address the issue, and when they do, they don't even fix it properly the first time....

I don't think they were ready for so many people either. If that is the case, how do they expect to be ready for launch on the 27th?

I actually wish that they would have had more closed beta sessions and a longer, larger open beta to give themselves more time to run into and fix these complications. Maybe its just me, but I'm sure people would rather have waited for a more playable pre-release that was pushed back a bit, than have to deal with this, their lack of communication, and eventual vague responses.

Considering how things are being handled for Beta Phase 5 erm.. I mean early access, launch day will likely be even more horrendous. Longer beta sessions and testing their "fixes" during peak times would likely have prevented this. Don't screw your early access folks, we are the ones that go out on a limb to get everyone around them excited to play. No one has to believe anything I say, but should this game fail again there is not going to be another second chance, so keep that in mind before anyone tells the rest of us to "chill".

Agreed. Beta seemed very short and very little play time. And I have gotten 3 people to buy the game based on my critique of the game play on beta. I am not looking to get anything for that, but I am highly frustrated that they dished out money, and now they are like... "um, so you are sure this game is good, cause I can not even play". I want this game to be great so please communicate.
